How it works

Once you contact Family First Funeral & Cremations Services, your family will be guided through a series of digital forms to provide necessary information and complete paperwork. These forms often include details about the deceased, such as their name, date of birth, and place of death. Additionally, the family may be asked to select any optional services or urn preferences.

After the paperwork is submitted and any necessary authorizations are obtained, the cremation process itself is conducted . Once the cremation is completed, the ashes can be either collected by the family at our facility or delivered to them by postal mail.
